Attended a fund raising dinner this evening hosted by friends. This was called "Moveable Feast" and was conceived to raise funds for the LA Mission. You host a dinner at your home and everyone who attends gives a donation to the Mission. Our hosts made it a "Cinco De Mayo" celebration with a Mexican style dinner. "Cinco De Mayo " is an American tradition in the Mexican community. This is a holiday that is not celebrated in Mexico at all. The food was very good and in abundance. Lots of appetizers to start with then chicken fajitas with the accompaniments for dinner. Sangria and margaritas were poured. A representative form the Mission was there also and gave us a lot of information on how the Mission is funded and run. A very worthy cause. A nice sum of money was raised and all in attendance had a good time. The wine bottles that everyone brought came out at the end of the evening. A nice evening.
